A
fantastic musical play by Lionel Monckton and Howard Talbot.

The Arcadians is generally acknowledged to be the finest of the Edwardian
musical comedies that followed in the wake of Gilbert and Sullivan’s comic
operas. Its stirring overture, operatic
finales and wonderfully tuneful score made it an instant hit; and its tale of
innocent ambassadors from a forgotten pastoral paradise who are sent to improve
the morals of wicked London, struck a chord in “the last age of elegance”: a
society already living on borrowed time, who knew its carefree hours were
numbered.

Opera della Luna present the first professional performance of The
Arcadians for decades. This is a semi-staged concert performance, with revised
dialogue by Jeff Clarke, and new orchestration by David Russell Hulme.
